tions by both class and fraternity
and sorority groups, with pribes
for best acts going to the junior
class for first, sophomore class for

spirit of the Homecoming Day,
with first prize going to the Chem-

Ne;v Oreliestra Planned
As Coninuniitj Project
A new concert orchestra for Bur
lington and the surrounding area
is soon to become a reality under
plans just announced under the
sponsorship of Elon College. The
announcement came from Prof.
Fletcher Moore, dean of the col
lege, who stated that the orchestra
will feature both college and com
munity personnel.
The new musical group will be
developed under the direction of
Dr. Malvin Artley, who supervis
es the strings program for the Bur
lington City Schools and also serv
es as director of the Williams High
School orchestra.
Ur. Artley has agreed to come
to the Elon campus for one night
each week to work with the mus
ical group, and the first meeting
2nd rehearsal was held on Mon-
day night of last week. The meet
ing was held in the band practice
hall on the third floor of Alamance
The idea and plans for such an
Orchestra originated in discussons
between Dean Moore and Dr. Art-
^y, but the opening rehearsal and
actual beginning of the orchestra
come about through the coop-
Wation and interest of Dr, J, E
l>anieley, president of »be Elon
College.
In announcing plans for the new
musical group. Dean Moore stress-
*d the fact that the orchestra is
for all interested musicians in Bur-
^ngton and surrounding commun
ities as well as for faculty and stu-
^®nt musicians at the college. All
l>ersons who have played any or
chestral instrument in the past are
Urged to affiliate with the group.
In serving as director of the new
irchestra. Dr, Ar'.ley will be work
ing with the full cooperation of
Prof Jack O, White, who heads the
instrumental musical program at
the college, and with the full sup
port of the entire college music
faculty.
In forming such a musical group,
he Burlington area joins other
cities in North Carolina such as
Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-
-alem and Durham, all of which
ave orchestral groups. One com-
'lentator has visualized the devel
opment of a Burlington Symphony
a the not roo distant future, and
ire.ie' t plais call for a concert to
eature t'le spring season.

salesman, who always believetl
,nat back-slapping and persever-
jncf were the keys to success in
L/Usiness as well as in life.
At the ago of sixty-three he has
reaciu'd a dead end. The long
drives on the road make liim dizzy,
lie talks to himself and has hal
lucinations in which past and pres
ent are intermingled, Epi.sodes ol
long ago gain a new meaning in
llieir relation to the present.
Loman is seen pampering his
boys, Biff (Frank Rich) aand Hap
py (David Andes); Willy Loman
appears to himself the perfect
American, the ideal father and
husband—an image shattered to
Biff when the boy comes upon his
father in a hotel with a woman
Laura Rice).
Willy’s older brother, Ben (Ty
rone Howell), who had led a life
of adventure instead of only
dreaming about it and had then
died many years ago, comes to
call him again and again.

The normal changes in Uie

almost a full week later in No

Mis insurance is all paid up; If
he dies in an accident he will be

In Illlon Piano (Concert
Dr, William S, Newman, of Cha

sity of North Carolina music fac
ulty, who is recognized worldwide
as a pianist, author and teacher,
was heard with pleasure when he
appeared in concert in Whitley

His recital included a number
of works infrequently heard on pro
grams, among them the monumen-
1% CONCKRT
DR. WILLIAM S. NEWMAN
Heard With Pleasure
tal Sonata for Piano by Ernest
Bloch, the Swiss-American com
poser. The performance of this
number proved to be the highlight
of the evening’s program.
He opened his program with an
early work by Brahms, ariation*
on a Theme by Robert Schumann,
Op. 9, a composition which is
somewhat neglected and which was
presented by Dr. Newman with
artistic understanding.
Another major work offered was
the Partita No 2 in C Minor by
J. S. Bach, which was performed
by the artist with flexibility and
wormth. Other numt>ers were by
Albenlz, Charles Ives and Doh-
nanyi, a strange mixture of them
atic material, which was unusually
well defined in Dr, Newman’s per
formance.
The artist himself, who is an
Almni Distinguished Professor at
the University of North arolina,
has been a member of the Chapel
Hill faculty since 1945, having
come to the University after ser
vice in the United States Air Force
during World War II
A graduate of Western Re,serve
University, he studied piano with
Carl Riemenschnelder and had
music composition with Herbert
Elwell and Arthur Shepherd, He
has also done post-doctoral work
at Columbia and has work in sev
eral music libraries in Europe.
